Every year between December and May, volunteers from the Los Angeles section of The American Cetacean Society gather daily at the Point Vicente Interpretive Center Palos Verdes Peninsula to participate in a census of whales through the Catalina Channel. Since this is one of our most popular trails in all of LA we often stop to say hello to the participants, ask them questions and analyze the data, which will be presented. We do not know how many whalesappeared or should have known, appeared, but it's always interesting to note that only a few miles off the coast are one of the largest metropolises in the world, swim with the whales, almost unnoticed, on their annual migration.
What is for me this article is a Los Angeles Times, which ran January 15, 2008. She has spoken at several points along the California coast where whales can be seen. Palos Verdes option is available to residents of LA. It's a lot of free parking onthe center. Other activities in this area abound. You can take a walk along a coastal trail that runs for several miles right over the cliff. A visit to the Interpretation Center to more fun. Here you can learn the habitat, history, animals, marine environment and conservation of natural life. One thing that surprises me is that he was in a bay near (Portuguese Bend), is an actual whaling station in mid-1800. A multipurpose hall in the center and is widely used for weddings and Oceanfrontevents. The lighthouse is maintained near the Coast Guard and is open to the public every second Saturday 10-3. Admission is free.
Whale watching is on a nice stone plateau. Powerful telescopes and binoculars line the edge of the area. Friendly members of the American Cetacean Society is always ready to share with you a story about whales, their numbers, invite you to observe the Pacific Ocean and answer any questions. I have only seen once the whaleshere. That was about ten years ago. This is only to observe that, since a whale is not guaranteed. What is guaranteed is that you have a good time here, learn something, spend some 'time off to enjoy the breeze of the Pacific, walking and enjoying nature. There's nothing better.

Cetus is Latin and the name is used to indicate biological"Wal," whose original meaning "large sea animal", was more general. It derives from the greek Ket ( "sea monster").
